Chapter 115: Secret Deliberation
Chang Lin returned to the office, opened a wooden cigarette case on the cabinet behind him, glanced inside, and saw that the last two cigars were left, and closed the cigarette case again. Pull open the drawer and take out a locally made cigarette.
This is also a new product that they came here to produce. The locals used "insect fear" to make local tobacco, but it was only dried and not baked, but the school built a roasting room according to the way the tobacco leaves were processed, which made the taste of local tobacco rise to a higher level, but compared with the original products of that world, it was still a bad breath, perhaps because of the lack of memory taste.
With a snap of his fingers, a tiny flame was generated between his fingers, and Chang Lin lit the local cigarette.
That's all he can do.
He also tried his hand at magic cultivation and succeeded in becoming a magic apprentice, but he didn't dare to try it at the level of contemplation.
If there is a god of magic in this world, he must be very unfair to middle-aged and elderly people, people under the age of thirty-five basically have no big problem concentrating, but once they reach the age of thirty-five, the risk of contemplation becomes greater and greater.
The school has paid the price of two people for this, one of which is Zhou Xiaoren, who was sent to the fertilizer factory, in order to save his position, he tried to become a magician, although the magic classics recommend that the age of Ning Shen be controlled in his teens to twenties, but Zhou Xiaoren fought to the death regardless of the danger. At the age of forty-five, he tried to concentrate, but his soul was shattered, and when he was found, he was dead in the duty room of the fertilizer factory.
The other, a 38-year-old associate professor in the Department of Psychology, believes that he is still quite young and should be very strong mentally, and insists on trying to concentrate. His situation was better than Zhou Xiaoren's, but he also failed in the process of concentrating because of his broken soul, and eventually became a vegetative person.
According to the research of Mao Kai and others, they believe that this is related to the natural decline of mental power as we age. It is also related to the fact that as I get older, there are more distractions in my heart.
Whatever the reason, the school has introduced a rule prohibiting people over the age of thirty-five from trying to concentrate, so a large number of older people have only cultivated to the level of magic apprentices.
Of course, there are also some people who are older and choose the path of vindictiveness, this road is not so dangerous, but it is a lot more painful, let these people who are used to sitting in the office try to boil their bodies every day and endure the grind, which is difficult to persevere. Only a person like Wang Jiyuan, who was born in the military and is accustomed to exercise, slowly touched the threshold of vindictiveness.
Taking a puff of cigarette and exhaling curling smoke, Chang Lin leaned against the windowsill and stared at the campus, which was now deserted than before because most of the people had moved out. However, the annoying natives have finally gotten out of here, making the school look much more comfortable.
Chang Lin likes to observe this place condescendingly, which gives him a sense of control, from the head of the agricultural team to the newly created vice chairman, his road to power here is also smooth. But there's still a long way to go before you really take control of it. Of course, he knew very well that even Guo Qian couldn't really control this place. After all, the authority gained through office in a place like a school is still too thin. Therefore, he needs more sources of strength, whether it is force or capital, they are just tools for him to pursue power.
However, today is still not going well, is he too anxious? I should have known a long time ago that the mage who has been in the mage tower for a long time will not be a fuel-efficient lamp. It has become the instinct of these people to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages and hug their thighs, and they will not easily sell themselves until they see the opportunities in all aspects. Fortunately, Chang Lin is only in initial contact today, with the attitude that success is enough, and if you don't succeed, you can get a good fate. He believed that with his strength and status, there would be many opportunities to lure these guys into his camp in the future.
Just as Chang Lin was reflecting, there was a knock on the office door. Chang Lin extinguished his cigarette in the ashtray and opened the door.
The person who came was Chu Ying, the head of the business team, who looked like a dusty man, his emaciated face was white and blue, and his face was very ugly. He walked into the room and closed the door, then went to the window to close the window, then cast a detection magic, and then returned to Chang Lin and asked, "Old Chang, what's the matter? Why did I go on a business trip, and our factory was taken away?"
"Isn't it your powerful former deputy team leader? If he hadn't pressed too hard, that native baron wouldn't have jumped over the wall in a hurry and sent a killer to kill Chen Hansheng. They didn't get it right, and that's what got into trouble. Chang Lin took some time to explain the cause and effect from what he knew.
"So, Baron Goya is exposed? Have I been exposed?" Chu Ying hurriedly asked.
Chang Lin secretly sighed, this greedy guy is not only unable to hold his breath, but also always cares about his own affairs in his mind, although Guo Qian and Xiao Chen can't get together with him, but his character is much stronger than this guy. He shook his head and said, "Not really, after all, we contacted them through Cole. As long as Cole is not caught by them, Baron Goya does not know who is involved here, and he has no real evidence. ”
"Then did you get rid of Cole and his steward?" Chu Ying asked again.
Chang Lin pressed Chu Ying's shoulder and said, "Old Chu, calm down, don't think about fighting and killing at every turn." Let's not talk about whether Cole is exposed or not, whether he will be caught by them, is it so easy to deal with a veteran mercenary or a magic archer? ”
"And what do you do?"
"Of course, let him find an excuse to sneak away and go out to avoid the limelight. Anyway, these mercenaries often go out on missions, and even if they don't return after the deadline, others won't think about absconding from fear of crime first, so they give us the time they arranged. And his steward, named Hall. They also went together. Chang Lin said.
Chu Ying was silent, as if she was considering various possibilities. But I heard Chang Lin say: "This matter is not necessarily a bad thing. Yesterday the committee had already made a resolution to move Baron Goya. We have to send a signal to those around us. No one can go unpunished after harming the Chinese. ”
"What about Baron Goya's sales network?"
"So be very cautious. But you also know that if we do it, we will definitely hold these channels in our hands little by little, and then it will be time for you to show your strength?"
Chu Ying's little eyes lit up at this time.
